Wednesday and Thursday

Ah forgive me, pregnancy brain and I didn't even realize I didn't post until about 8pm last night!

Can I just say how much I am loving the fancy new cable? No crappy summer television! We have been watching the second season of The Tudors (saw the first season after a friend recommended it and now we are more addicted to it than I was to Days of Our Lives in high school and college! Just as ridiculous as any daytime soap opera too, but with Jonathan Rhys Meyers!
Oooh la la!

Also loving it being commercial-free – means I can watch two episodes and still get to bed by 9pm! 🙂

So anyway, on to my clothing. Yesterday was awful – I had a mini meltdown in the morning because nothing fits. Well some things do fit, but they don't work with one another. Can't really wear a black pencil skirt with a tunic-length maternity skirt and not be horrified with myself. So I tried on maternity stuff I have gotten on clarance and it was either still too big or needed to be shortened (hell world – there are a TON of us petite and tall pregnant ladies out there! We don't all work with a 33″ inseam!). So I went to my trusty Maggy London wrap dress. Problem is my “baby bump” is above the belly button right now so I just look pudgy, not pregnant. Oh well.

So today I had my new J. Crew dress to wear – came in the mail yesterday! Yep, this is the same exact dress as my orange one. $19.99 at J. Crew, a coupon for free shipping AND a store credit? You can't beat that with a bat! It may not be the most figure-flattering but these dresses are AWESOME for the summer and I adore the colors and the nice weight of the cotton knit.

Yesterday I was cleaning out my wallet and I found a $10 coupon and a $22.00 or so store credit to Victoria's Secret. The credit my mom gave me – she found in her house and it was ages old. The coupon I got in the mail and was to expire end of the month. Being pregnant I can't really think of much I need from there (have two cotton bras in my new size but honestly, they are comfy but they don't support well – I have never found VS to be too supportive for larger busts). Then I remembered… makeup! I stopped by the location near my job on the way home.

I bought this lipstick and a lip gloss in French Kiss (always liked that shade) and the shadow I am wearing was on sale for $3.00. After the coupon and cert I ended up getitng back $3.63 in cash! Score!

Tonight we are going to a party on the Chesapeake Bay (hey Sarah, we're gonna be in your neck of the woods and I don't have your cell – email me and maybe we can meet up!). Looking forward to see friends we haven't seen in a bit. The rest of the weekend is wide open and I couldn't be more thrilled. Every weekend has been so jam packed – I can't believe how excited I am jsut to do laundry and clean my bathroom!

I hope everyone has a fabulous and safe 4th of July weekend!!!
